"From the writings of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, to comics like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and Lady Mechanika, the detailed and imagination-fueled steampunk movement has excited fans worldwide. Set in an original, sprawling steampunk world, Lantern City explores everything we love about the genre and what it takes to change a persons place in the world." -- Publisher annotation.

Review of 'Lantern City' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I have to say, I wasn't sold by the end of this book. The characters aren't very memorable, dialogue is all right, and there are a lot of plot holes. There are several scenarios that I just couldn't fully believe. A lot of little conveniences that kept the story moving. The world building is minimal, but what I've seen, I like.

But, it's a quick read, and the cliffhanger into book 2 was pretty good.
